One of love and care, that requires us to weather the storms; to live with sleep deprivation; to gulp good food at the first opportunity before children notice; and to strive to provide for the immediate family. I say strive because I am always on the run, at least in my anxious mind.
The other world is that of competition. We are expected to give it our best. Again I feel am always in the run to the next race, and the next, and the next...
There could be many more worlds. We can include the world where we were born. Or worlds about hobbies, social circles or fraternities. Modern life and the desire to run in life helps us to move between worlds if not create new ones for ourselves.
For those like me who keep running in life whenever we cross between worlds we could feel guilty. And guilt comes from leaving behind people we like and we love (including ourselves). Guilt can also come from not spending enough time in any world after all.
I wish there could be a bridge between worlds that could make us feel less guilty when we use it.
Or a bridge that could make us feel happier by crossing and staying.
A bridge that could stop us from running around and even stop us from crossing between worlds when we need to stay with the loved ones.
